Question

Choose whether the following statement true or false:
The past perfect continuous tense shows that an action that started in the past continued up until another time in the past.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Option A is correct. Consider the following example:

I had been working at the company for six years when I got the promotion.

"Had been working" is the past perfect continuous form of the infinitive "to work". The sentence tells us that the action (working for six years) started in the past, continued in the past and also ended at the defined point in the past ("got the promotion").
